Justin
English Tutor and Proofreader: Critical, Creative Reading and Writing
English language and literature are passions of mine, and my approach to tutoring is to try to inspire the same enthusiasm in pupils. This requires conveying a sense of appreciation for storytelling and awe at the power of the written word. Engagement with texts that will interest students is key. My tutoring strategy involves helping students realize their own way of understanding and using language. I strive to encourage learners to create their own proper ways of interpreting and expressi... Read more

David
New Middle/High/College Tutor Specializing in English and Drums
Hello there! My name is David W. and my wife and I currently reside in beautiful Beaverton, Oregon. I am new to tutoring, but have always loved seeing the process of learning and seeing the progression that a person can go through as they're learning a new skill or simply seeing that "eureka" moment when everything starts to click! Experiencing those feelings myself, I want to bring that experience to anybody wanting to learn or break through those barriers that seem impossible to climb. It... Read more
Marc
Lifelong Learner
I'm half artist and half academic. Learning is terribly important to me, but so is self-expression. I encourage my students likewise to learn as much as possible about what interests them, and I encourage them to express themselves. I've been tutoring for over fifteen years, mostly adults at college level, but I have also taught adult English-language learners and special-ed high school students. I most enjoy working with students who come from very different backgrounds than I do. I m... Read more

When I leave the student, they will have a better understanding of their computer. I do have patience and great customer service skills (listening, understanding, explaining, and demonstrating). I want to share my knowledge with someone who wants to learn. I want to make a difference in both our lives. So, you ... Read more
